Description
Phaeohelotium is a group of fungi often found on decaying wood, typically thriving in damp, shaded environments. These fungi produce small, cup-shaped fruiting bodies, which can range from pale yellow to dark shades. They play an important role in ecosystems by breaking down organic material, aiding in nutrient cycling. Some species within the group exhibit unique adaptations, such as producing enzymes that help them decompose tough plant materials efficiently.
